Abstract | In this research, we study a mechanism to deal with supply disruption in a supply chain with one supplier and two retailers by use of two different types of supply contract (i.e., buy-back contract and range contract). In the examined supply chain, the buy-back contract is signed with a normal supplier who is subjected to disruption, and the range contract is signed with a backup supplier who is reliable but offers the product at higher price. The incorporation of the backup supplier in the system is to help deal with supply chain disruption so as to maximize the profit of the retailer. Mathematical models are developed for the proposed contracts, and then, sensitivity analyses are conducted to examine the effects of input parameters on decision variables. Comparisons between centralized and decentralized systems are also conducted to examine the coordination efficiency of the proposed contracts. |
